Warlords: Rise of the System

Chapter 111 The Battle Was Difficult

I saw the bandits' headquarters, brightly lit and full of noise, as if something was happening?

Suddenly, a group of bandits appeared out of nowhere, escorting many civilians, including some children and the elderly.

These people looked terrified, and some were even crying, but the bandits showed no mercy to them and drove them to the center of the square.

The soldiers of the night attack team were about to report the news to the artillery, but it was too late. The artillery unit of the National Salvation Army had already launched an artillery attack.

In an instant, shells whizzed past and hit the area around the bandits' headquarters.

Suddenly, the whole square became chaotic. The bandits fled in all directions, while the people took the opportunity to break free from their restraints and began to flee the scene.

"Let's go. We won't let these civilians sacrifice in vain." The captain of the night attack team gave the order to withdraw.

He knew very well that if they didn't leave here, they might become the target of artillery shells and suffer accidental injuries.

Therefore, the soldiers of the night attack team quickly evacuated a considerable distance to ensure their own safety.

When they picked up the telescope to observe again, they found that the bandits' headquarters was engulfed in flames.

The blazing flames illuminated the night sky, allowing them to clearly see the situation at the command center.

At this time, they were surprised to find that the people were not as panic-stricken as they had imagined, but instead showed a firm and resolute expression.

What was even more unexpected was that the soldiers of the night attack team actually saw smiles on the faces of those civilians. They were smiles that came from the heart.

The people who were originally in a panic stopped running around.

They all looked at the bandits running around with smiles on their faces.

"We don't lose out when so many thieves are buried with us." An old man said with a smile on his face.

“I heard that this is the bandits’ headquarters, and all their high-ranking officials are inside.

As long as we can blow them all up, and have these bandit officials buried with us, our death will be worth it."

"Don't be afraid, little bean. Your mother is with you."

"Mom, I'm not afraid. These bad guys will die with us, and mom will be with me. I'm really not afraid."

The common people had nothing generous to say, but they could face death with a smile as they could have the bandits buried with them.

The members of the night attack team couldn't help but be shocked by the sight of flames rising into the sky.

They originally thought that these people were just innocent victims, but they did not expect that they had such strong will and courage.

The captain stared into the distance, a feeling of admiration welling up in his heart.

He realized that these ordinary people were the greatest force in this war.

"We must contact the command as soon as possible and report the situation here." The captain whispered.

The team members nodded one after another. They understood that the significance of this attack was not only to destroy the bandits' headquarters, but also to ignite the fire of hope in the hearts of the people.

As the sound of artillery fire gradually subsided, the night attack team quietly left the battlefield.

With respect for the people, they continued to devote themselves to the fight against the Japanese invasion.

After the night attack team successfully retreated, they immediately contacted the headquarters and reported in detail the attack and the heroic performance of the people.

The command spoke highly of the actions of the night attack team and decided to intensify the crackdown on the bandits.

The remaining bandit troops, without the command system, became like a pile of loose sand, each acting on their own.

The troops of the National Salvation Army intensified their offensive against the bandits.

However, the bandit troops had a solid fortress as defense and the people as shields, which limited the attack speed of the National Salvation Army.

The National Salvation Army fought very hard.

In many fortresses, the soldiers of the National Salvation Army were not afraid of sacrifice and blew holes in them with explosive packs.

Then, the soldiers rushed in and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the bandits inside before they captured the fortress.

Even so, many people were affected and lost their lives.

The rescued people did not thank the soldiers of the National Salvation Army immediately.

Instead, he told the soldiers with tears in his eyes that if they were captured by the bandits and used as shields again, the soldiers must not make unnecessary sacrifices for them.

They told the soldiers that even though they used artillery to bombard the forts, they would be happy to have these bandits buried with them even if they died.

The sincerity of the people infected the soldiers of the National Salvation Army. With such people, Tianlong Country is not far from rising.

In the temporary command center, Ding Xuguang sighed and said, "When I learned that our bombing affected many civilians, I felt very sad.

When I learned that the people did not hate us, but faced death with a smile, my heart was really touched.

Our Tianlong Nation can have such people, what else can stop our Tianlong Nation from rising?"

Jiao Yajun nodded and said, “The people all know that they are willing to sacrifice themselves for the rise of the country, so as soldiers, how can we let them down?

Many of the rescued civilians, after learning that many soldiers had sacrificed their lives to save them, cried and begged us not to make unnecessary sacrifices in the future.

Let us bombard those fortresses directly with our artillery, and they will be willing to die together with those bandits.

Alas, how can we do it?"

Ding Xuguang also sighed softly.

"The shamelessness of the bandits and the behavior of our people have been reported to the Marshal. I believe that the Marshal can solve this problem well."

The troops led by Lu Tianhao attacked the city occupied by bandits and encountered the same situation as Ding Xuguang and Jiao Yajun.

The bandits displayed their cruelty and shamelessness to the extreme.

Lu Tianhao spent a large amount of points and has expanded the system's space to infinity, and the retraction and release distance has also reached the maximum distance given by the system.

With a collection distance of ten meters and a delivery distance of 100 meters, it is equivalent to giving Lu Tianhao a bug.

Lu Tianhao took advantage of this cheating function and personally appeared on the front line. He kept the collecting function turned on and collected all the bullets fired by the bandits into the system space.

Then he used the delivery function to drop a large number of bombs directly on the bandits' fortress.

When they learned that there were civilians in the fortress, they did not dare to destroy the next fortress directly.

Instead, a large hole was blown out, allowing the soldiers to rush in and engage in hand-to-hand combat.

In close combat, even though the individual combat capabilities of the soldiers were strong, the National Salvation Army still suffered a lot of casualties.

The battle was very difficult. Even though Lu Tianhao used the cheating function, his attack on the bandits was still subject to many restrictions.

It took three days of effort and considerable casualties before Lu Tianhao led his troops to capture the city.

Lu Tianhao was thinking about how to solve the problem of bandits using civilians as shields.

The system's voice sounded in my mind at this time.
